(R): Mitochondria are the sites of photosynthesis in plant cells.

SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
1. What is a cell? Mention its significance in living organisms.
2. Differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
3. Describe the structure and function of the nucleus.

LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
1. Describe the structure and function of the cell membrane.
2. Explain the process of endocytosis and its significance in cells.
COMPETENCY BASED QUESTIONS
1. A student observed two cells under a microscope and noticed that one cell had a well-defined nucleus and
membrane-bound organelles, while the other cell did not have a well-defined nucleus and lacked membrane-
bound organelles. Based on this observation, explain how the student can determine whether the cells are
prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
2. An experiment was conducted to study the movement of materials across a cell membrane. The experiment
involved placing a cell in a solution and observing changes in the cell's volume over time. Based on the results
of the experiment, explain how the student can determine whether the cell membrane is selectively permeable.
